Overview
When you join the BIS, your expertise and commitment to public service will support our work, whatever your role. We are a hub for the world's central bankers and financial regulators, producing research that informs the work of policymakers everywhere. We also offer banking services to central banks worldwide. Through these activities, we support monetary and financial stability and foster international cooperation.
The BIS is committed to fostering international cooperation among central banks and financial supervisory authorities from around the world, with a view to supporting their efforts to ensure monetary and financial stability. The institution also fosters dialogue and knowledge-sharing through its engagement with central bank committees and hosted organisations in the context of the Basel Process.
As part of this process, the BIS convenes high-level meetings of central bank Governors and financial supervisory authorities. These meetings are held at a global level in Basel and complemented by regional discussions through the Bank’s Representative Offices for Asia and the Pacific and the Americas. The offices serve as centres for BIS activities in these regions and are uniquely positioned to address the needs of the central banks in those regions and anticipate the changes affecting them.
